I know some studies that showed work sample tests to be effective, also showed general intelligence tests to be effective in positions where the employee would be trained in new skills.
It's difficult to pull off because of possible discrimination claims, e.g., IQ tests are racially biased, but it can be done if you can demonstrate a business need.
I wonder if there are any examples of businesses that only hire people over a certain score on a general intelligence test?

I know that several other strategy consulting companies do use intelligence screen based on progressive matrix tests as part of their interview process, but my only experience there is European (but with American companies) and I don't know if they use it in the US as well.
