Person who uses others knowledge as there own for commercial purposes, without paying person or persons for knowledge accrued

John offered an interview to a candidate through a recruitment agency So that he could find out how to design a square, because he'd never designed a square before, and didn't want to get sacked by his boss for a lack of skills and knowledge he couldn't be bothered to update. So John knowledge shopped the skills from an undergraduate pretending he had a job on offer when he didn't. This practice is called knowledge shopping.
