A software developer in Gurugram cleared every interview round, accepted the offer, resigned from his previous job, and relocated to the new city. On his second day, HR called him in to explain that his pre-hire personality assessment had classified him as "neutral" — and the company, a portfolio firm of ElevenX Capital, preferred extroverts. He was let go immediately. The question he posted to Reddit was simple: if the test mattered that much, why wasn't it used to reject him before he upended his life?
