Address disrespect from recruiters without burning bridges?

I'm speaking of recruiters that are employed by the hiring company. A few weeks ago, I was invited to interview for a position I applied for. I did, then I was ghosted.

These positions are senior level management positions at local health systems. I want to express my feelings, but these positions are limited both to location and health system. My options are limited. I don't want to burn a bridge when another opportunity might present itself. I am qualified for these positions. I feel like my efforts mean nothing to these recruiters, and they have no repercussions for just ghosting me if they decide to go with another candidate. What do I do?
