I have toyed around with the concept with making a game, a way to form up a team is to search for them on forums or blogs. Some may charge a fee, but there are some willing to do it without a price. A best place to search is a forum about games or game development, which many users usually debate on. Also, if you aren't able to find a concept artist, there are plenty on the internet who only ask that you give them credit for their work, there are also some who professionally make textures for a fee, some ask for credit also. Other than that, I dont have much knowledge of how many programmers there are, but there are many mappers available.Myself has used Hammer editor (valve) and the Unreal Development Kit *which is a freely distributed maker which uses Unreal Engine 3*(Epic Games). Just a tad bit though, and hammer isnt very user friendly compared to UDK or UE3(which has a license you can buy to use it for I am pretty sure) Hammer is also distributed free by valve. Back on topic, There are many experienced mappers, I am sure programmers, and concept artists/texture creators available, you just have to search them up. Usually you will find mappers on video games (All knowledge on this post is from experiences I have had on games,forums, and engines).Finally, It may be good that you have your eyes on Havok, but you may want a good resume and background if you want to apply. I hope this post helps you, good luck.
