> Most people have only a vague understanding of ITAR and EAR. I have actually made the same mistake of writing a job posting that required applicants to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, excluding refugees and asylum seekers, but HR caught it.
I would expect that most people wouldn’t be too familiar with the ins and outs of “who we can hire”, and that that knowledge would often be concentrated in a compliance unit or units (likely in HR and Legal, at least) that would be primarily responsible.
I do think its a pretty big deal, though, if those compliance units aren’t doing their jobs.
I'm pretty sure at a normal old school company the CEO would have a discussion with legal ending with him saying, just make this go away as quietly as possible.
