Who Should I Hire?

Im gonna ask lotsa questions that might even be irrelevant with the title.

Clarification:

I know everything depends on my budget... but lets say im going to have a relatively small crew because i have a small budget. Who must i hire? Whats the minimum number of crew i can have and complete a film? And then lets say on another film i have a little bigger budget, who are the the nextpeople i think about hiring that i couldnt hire on my previous smaller budget. And then as my budget gets bigger and bigger who do i hire that i couldnt hire before?! And i asked and found out that i have to only hire the department heads and they hire the rest. but i saw on a video theat i hire the DP and he hires the Production Manager who hires the Production Designer. i was like wtf? So can some one please clarify that... yeah...
 
Great food is even MORE important on an "indie" film. When
you aren't paying people at all or paying then less than their
usual rate, feeding them well is extremely important. On all
my indie movies I provide excellent food. Sometimes that even
means bringing in a catering company that will have an omelet
station in the morning.

I know this is a little picky, but crafts service and catering are
two different things.

Crafts service is the department that provides various services
to the craftspeople on a set. Typically this means a table with
beverages and snacks. Catering is the department that prepares
and serves the meals.
