appointees
Chosen for positions
Appointees are people who have been selected for a position, typically by someone in authority rather than by election or competitive hiring.
The term most often appears in political contexts: The president's appointees faced tough confirmation hearings.
An appointee holds their position at the discretion of whoever appointed them.
