the standard reference for this is ree and earles 1992.

every other method of selection, e.g. structured interviews, work samples, etc, are (noisier) proxies of general mental ability.

"Intelligence is not the best predictor of job performance" (McClelland, D.C. 1993)

Not sure why you would use a paper as a "standard reference" when flaws in its method were identified almost 3 decades ago.

it's not consistently referred to as "IQ" or intellligence, typically the measurement is called "g" or "g factor" or "general mental ability" and over the last couple of decades the meta-analyses just keeps pointing towards g being the single best predictor of performance.
