B. Is perceived as less credible because she is an HR specialist.

C. Does not give applicants enough information, leaving them with more questions than answers.

D. Comes off as being too professional for someone in the HR field.

E. Is not approaching the candidate with enough skepticism.

Answer:

B. Is perceived as less credible because she is an HR specialist.

Explanation:

Human resources (HR) can be defined as an art of managing, controlling and improving the number of people (employees or workers), functions, activities which are being used effectively and efficiently by an organization.

Hence, human resources managers are saddled with the responsibility of managing and improving the welfare and working conditions of the employees working in an organization.

In this scenario, Maria is well respected among her peers for her professional standards and understanding of the HR field. She noticed that when she recruits engineers for her company, they sometimes seem unresponsive to her. Thus, the most likely reason for this is because Maria is perceived as less credible because she is an HR specialist and as such is considered not to have a deep understanding of the field of engineering to recruit a qualified and experienced candidate.
