Well if these witch hunters are "bad guys" one way to go would be to call them Inquisitors since it implies a sort of sinister nature when people think about what the word has meant in history.

Yet on the other hand, if you want to go a more creative route and make them "good guy" witch hunters, just throw a few unique words together. Call them Daemon Purifiers or something like that. A Thesaurus can help, but always check the definitions because I see far too many people who just throw in random synonyms to seem more intelligent regardless of whether the word fits creatively or not.
