You say it like it is that simple to fix; they could ask for photo in the curriculum and just discard the few that looks old, -after targeting job ads on pages that are disproportionaly "liked" by the age range they want-

The only true way to solve this is to force by law to hire older people (e.g. 30% of your workforce must be over 40); otherwise all this proxies like trying to regulate third-party ads and else its just an endless cat-and-mouse game.

It is an easy fix.

Job ads have no age options allowed.

Fixed.

And the next day, those age-based ads will be replaced by other user attributes closely correlated with age.

A US Supreme Court case comes to mind, Batson v Kentucky:

In which it became illegal to dismiss a juror based on race. A simple, sensible fix, which most agree did very little to stop race based discrimination from juries. Doing so just became a bit more complicated.

Nope; you can target pages that are liked only by young people (e.g. Snapchat) and then just discard the few old people manually.
