Today, I received a folder of Recruiting candidate CVs from one of our HR. In this folder, there is a sub-folder named "pass". Question is does this "pass" mean the CVs inside are OK or not OK?
If I want to mean the CVs in the folder that are not OK, what exact word should I use?

It's ambiguous.
It could mean "these candidates passed our tests".
Or it could mean "We'll pass on these candidates" (not give them offers).
You should ask whoever gave you the folders what the labels mean.
