Firing is actually more important than hiring. To understand why, consider this simple chart I made up: as you see it is literally impossible to get any work done at all with 100 people. Sound impossible? Think of it differently: 2 people can pick a place to eat rather quickly; 10 is hard, but doable. 100 — impossible. Nobody will ever eat. 6 billion people? Our species is doomed!
