Aptitude tests are at the HR/screening out phase. It's not surprising there's no personal discretion. Manager probably never heard your name, and HR does not care what quality of workers they hire in so far as it isn't reflected in their KPIs.

If you got two managers who know you bidding against one another, different story.
