Very interesting, thanks for the cite. I think it's important to note that those figures are for "hiring employees without previous experience in the job" because "It is largely through the quicker acquisition of job-relevant knowledge that higher IQ mediates job performance." So you'll acquire new skills more quickly if you have a higher IQ, which makes sense, but if you have two people at the same apparent skill level applying for a non-entry-level position, IQ may well not be (or may well be) a valid means of deciding between the two. This jives fairly well with the quote from Google.
