Assuming there is any causation in this correlation (which is highly unlikely), shouldn't there be an inverse correlation instead?

Yes, especially since it seems like that's what the author wants to imply. In reality, I think we're seeing Google hiring volume marching with the broad tech outlook, here proxied by MSFT.

Yes. Also, you'd probably expect a slight delay, if you are somehow assuming Microsoft employees are planning to jump ship. 2009 to mid 2010 almost would fit that profile.
