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.

I have never, in any industry, received a call from someone to tell me I wasn't hired and why. I don't know that I have ever even heard of that happening.
Not saying it doesn't happen, just that I don't think it's at all commonplace.
