So back in March, I had applied to a video game company for an art position.
I applied on the site, and found the email of one of the recruiters, so I contacted him directly about my interest in the job.
The next day an hr manager calls me and says me up an interview.
Day after that, had interview, sent a thank you email the day after that.
A few days pass, hear nothing.
Try to call hr guy, doesn't pick up. Wait a few more weeks, hear nothing, so call again and send a follow up email. Hear nothing.
Months pass, so I assume I didnt get the job.
However, I noticed the game company has another opening for a Production Artist that I would be a good fit for. Although it's not creating art, it has to do with knowing print production, which I can do.
So I applied through the site. My question is, should I do the same technique I did last time and email the recruiter directly?
If I do, should I mention that I previously applied to a different job and never heard back, or just email the recruiter about my interest in this production art job?
What would you do...?

Meant "calls me next day and sets me up the interview". Damn autocorrect

That's very unprofessional that they basically ghosted you instead of writing you a formal rejection. Are you sure you want to work for this company?

I wouldn't mention the previous application. I'm no expert but it just doesn't feel right. Even if you have the same interviewer he may not remember you anyway. Just apply and continue looking.

Every company does that these days. There's no point in taking it personally, just try to get in, get some experience then jump ship to a better paying gig when the time is right.

That's what I would do. Just say you saw the position and that you were interested. No need to give more info than you need to.
