I always see "la gente".But does "un gente" exist too?

Question

I always see "la gente".But does "un gente" exist too?

I think gente is not countable?

In my book, it says:

Un amigo mío me ha dicho que necesitan un gente en su empresa

I thought it is la gente, but the book says un gente, I am confused.

Answer 1

that doesnt exist at all. spanish speakers woudl understand you but it sounds very bad

Answer 2

So,

"Un amigo mío me ha dicho que necesitan un gente en su empresa." This sentence is wrong ?

Un amigo mío me ha dicho que necesitan gente en su empresa. Is this correct?

Answer 3

La gente / una gente (as a collective noun). Necesitan gente en la oficina (more than one person is being sought). Necesitan una persona en la oficina (when only one person is needed).
