Lawyers for Google Inc. are pressing to undo and dismiss an age-bias collective action that alleges the Silicon Valley company’s hiring process, including an evaluation of a candidate’s “Googleyness,” favors younger workers more than older.

Google’s attorneys want a California federal trial judge to reconsider an earlier decision to certify a collective action of job candidates who contend the company engaged in a nationwide pattern or practice on intentional age discrimination. The complaint provides a window into the hiring process at the company.
