When it's time to bring a new person or a number of new people on board, its important not to rush into it. It is very important to get the right people in and also that they are going to get along with the current employees. Hire carefully and slowly.
When we brought in a new guy we went by a referral from a business contact. The person that we brought in was crap and we fired him soon after.
The lesson here was that when someone refers a possible employee to you, always ask them "if they are referring this person because they believe that this person is perfect for the job and will take your company forward or whether they are just trying to help this person to find a job?"
As mention by Jim Collins in "Good to Great"; for a successful team you need to get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, the right people in the right seats, and then only do you need to figure out where you are going.
