The Crestview Journey
Built on technical mastery and high-touch advocacy.
Founded by a 25-Year Infrastructure Veteran
Crestview Talent was founded by Brian Drumm after more than 25 years working in enterprise infrastructure, virtualization, endpoint management, and cloud operations.
Over the course of his career, Brian has supported and led teams across large-scale VMware and Nutanix environments, Active Directory and Windows infrastructure, Horizon VDI, Intune, PowerShell automation, disaster recovery, and security-driven infrastructure operations. He has worked in hands-on engineering roles, team lead roles, and hiring roles—giving him a practical understanding of what companies actually need when they hire technical talent.
Crestview Talent was built to solve a common problem: too many recruiters do not understand the jobs they recruit for. We do. That means we can ask better questions, evaluate resumes with more context, and identify candidates who are more likely to succeed in real production environments.
Today, Crestview Talent focuses on infrastructure, cloud operations, platform, and DevOps hiring, helping companies find engineers who can operate, automate, modernize, and stabilize critical systems.
Why This Business Exists
After years of working inside real infrastructure environments, I saw the same problem repeatedly: companies were interviewing candidates who looked right on paper but lacked the depth, ownership, or operational maturity the role required.
Crestview Talent was built to solve that problem. The goal is simple: bring technical context to recruiting so clients can make better hiring decisions and candidates can be represented accurately.
“I know what a strong infrastructure or DevOps engineer looks like because I’ve worked with them, hired them, and depended on them.”
