IQ metric is not necessary to make this assment, a regular job interview could weed out the two sigma below the mean candidates. I think it’s common sense at this level. On the other hand it really depends on the job. You don’t need a hugh IQ to be a supermarket bagger. Low IQ people in low responsibility positions don’t pose much risk, I’d actually think high IQ in highly responsible positions may pose a higher risk: think of hiring a high IQ malefic narcissist who would ruin your business just for fun
