According to Chapter 15, what does it mean to be a passive applicant?

According to Chapter 15, being a passive applicant means that an individual is not actively seeking out job opportunities or applying for positions. Instead, they may be open to opportunities but are not taking the initiative to pursue them. This could be because they are currently employed and are not in urgent need of a new job, or because they lack the motivation or resources to actively job hunt. Passive applicants may still be recruited by employers, often through networking or headhunting.
