These individuals are not actively seeking a job, hence they are not "active candidates." However, they may be open to new opportunities and receptive to being approached, which classifies them as "passive candidates." "Poached candidates" suggests they have been taken from their current employer without their knowledge or consent, which may not accurately describe this group.
