Pretty much every industry that I know of. It's bush league not to call unsuccessful applicants. Comes off a little yellow, to be honest.
Last year I hired 17 people. For each of those hires there were at least 3 unsuccessful candidates, sometimes as many as 6. So I had to call about 75 unsuccessful applicants. Each phone call probably takes about 2 minutes. So over a year that's about 2 1/2 hours of phone time, and I'm guessing most hiring managers don't hire that many people in one year. I can tell you I spend more time on CP in a year than 2 1/2 hours.
