We don't know if Qrow actually became compromised, just that Ironwood and the others thought that he might have been compromised. We also don't know when Ironwood was brought into the Inner Circle, since we don't know how long Qrow has been part of it. For all we know, Qrow could've been recruited shortly after graduating Beacon or maybe even while he was attending Beacon, similar to how they revealed themselves to Pyrrha.
