Brigad

Brigad is a French-founded staffing marketplace that connects verified, self-employed hospitality and healthcare professionals with businesses that need short-term cover. Founded in Paris in 2016 by Florent Malbranche, Jean Lebrument and Alexandre Rovetto, the platform pairs a talent app (for freelance chefs, waiters, bartenders, carers and nurses) with a business app (for restaurants, caterers, hotels, clinics, retirement homes and hospitals) and uses a matching algorithm to fill missions, often within hours. Brigad operates in France and the United Kingdom, has supported over 12,000 businesses and 23,000 independent professionals, and completed more than 300,000 missions. It is backed by Balderton Capital, Wendel, Serena and Square, having raised roughly €50 million to date. Brigad publishes no documented public developer API or developer program, but its web app is powered by first-party GraphQL routers on brigad.cloud (talent, business/agent and legacy schemas) whose anonymous introspection is open; those live SDLs are captured here as an undocumented internal contract, alongside the company identity and public web properties tracked for the API Evangelist network.

Brigad publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Staffing, Marketplace, Hospitality, and Healthcare.

Brigad’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 12 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/brigad: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

    open anonymous introspection; SDLs captured verbatim. Prior profile wrongly said "no public developer API".
