Rejected after being invited to an interview. The reason? I was at work.

I applied for a helpdesk position at a startup company. The recruiter called me and asked me if I can come in this week at 4PM. I said I'm not sure, because I'm working until 4:30, so it'd be 5PM at earliest. I said if online interview is possible, they said no. But the recruiter said he'll ask if there can be some accommodations made. Wouldn't you know it, an hour later I get an email “you have been rejected”. Seriously what the hell. Not even the slightest effort taken from their side. What did they expect me to do? Call in sick? Get a day off?
