Sorry for your bad experience! We review every application, but we don't reply to every one.

For candidates that we think could be a fit for the role we'll usually send over some questions over email, and then schedule an interview if we like the answers, or let them know we don't be moving forward.

Not sure what stange you got to (if we never replied to your application at all, or if you were emailing us and then didn't hear back)? Happy to look into your application and send some feedback if you reach out to me ([e-mail]).

I had several emails back and forth with you.

Ah, then I'm sorry - that's my bad. If you'd gone to the trouble of answering questions over email then I should totally have got back you and not ghosted you. I do try to do that with everyone I engage with about a role over email, but it looks like I didn't on this occasion - apologies!

If you or anyone else finds yourself in a similar situation in the future I'd encourage you to shoot over a reminder email to bump the conversation to the top of the inbox of the person you're waiting on a reply from. In almost all cases being "ghosted" just means your email got lost in a busy inbox, and a quick nudge (or 2) is likely all that's needed to get the reply.
