At Google Play, we’re dedicated to helping people discover experiences they’ll love, while empowering developers like you to bring your ideas to life and build successful businesses. This year, Google I/O was packed with exciting announcements designed to do just that. For a comprehensive overview of everything we shared, be sure to check out our blog post recapping What’s new in Google Play.
Today, we’ll dive specifically into the latest updates designed to help you streamline your subscriptions offerings and maximize your revenue on Play. Get a quick overview of these updates in our video below, or read on for more details.
#1: Subscriptions with add-ons: Streamlining subscriptions for you and your users
We’re excited to announce multi-product checkout for subscriptions, a new feature designed to streamline your purchase flow and offer a more unified experience for both you and your users. This enhancement allows you to sell subscription add-ons right alongside your base subscriptions, all while maintaining a single, aligned payment schedule.
The result? A simplified user experience with just one price and one transaction, giving you more control over how your subscribers upgrade, downgrade, or manage their add-ons. Learn more about how to create add-ons.
You can now sell base subscriptions and add-ons together in a single, streamlined transaction
#2: Showcasing benefits in more places across Play: Increasing visibility and value
We’re also making it easier for you to retain more of your subscribers by showcasing subscription benefits in more key areas across Play. This includes the Subscriptions Center, within reminder emails, and even during the purchase and cancellation processes. This increased visibility has already proved effective, reducing voluntary churn by 2%. To take advantage of this powerful new capability, be sure to enter your subscription benefits details in Play Console.
To help reduce voluntary churn, we’re showcasing your subscriptions benefits across Play
#3: New grace period and account hold duration: Decreasing involuntary churn
Another way we’re helping you maximize your revenue is by extending grace periods and account hold durations to tackle unintended subscription losses, which often occur when payment methods unexpectedly decline.
Now, you can customize both the grace period (when users retain access while renewal is attempted) and the account hold period (when access is suspended). You can set a grace period of up to 30 days and an account hold period of up to 60 days. However, the total combined recovery period (grace period + account hold) cannot exceed 60 days.
This means instead of an immediate cancellation, your users have a longer window to update their payment information. Developers who’ve already extended their decline recovery period—from 30 to 60 days—have seen impressive results, with an average 10% reduction in involuntary churn for renewals. Ready to see these results for yourself? Adjust your grace period and account hold durations in Play Console today.

But that’s not all. We’re constantly investing in ways to help you optimize conversion throughout the entire buyer lifecycle. This includes boosting purchase-readiness by prompting users to set up payment methods and verification right from device setup, and we’ve integrated these prompts into highly visible areas like the Play and Google account menus. Beyond that, we’re continuously enabling payments in more markets and expanding payment options. Our AI models are even working to optimize in-app transactions by suggesting the right payment method at the right time, and we’re bringing buyers back with effective cart abandonment reminders.
That’s it for our top announcements from Google I/O 2025, but there’s so many more updates to discover from this year’s event. Check out What’s new in Google Play to learn more, and to dive deeper into the session details, view the Google Play I/O playlist for all the announcements.

Headhunters focus on seeking out and recruiting top talent for organizations. Unlike regular recruiters, they usually work on filling high-level positions. They use their networks, databases, and industry knowledge to identify potential candidates who are not actively looking for jobs.
Key activities include:
Researching and identifying potential candidates
Networking within specific industries
Approaching and persuading passive candidates
Conducting preliminary interviews
Headhunters often focus on specific industries, making them experts in those fields. For example, headhunters in Madrid may work in sectors like financial services, technology, and real estate.
Benefits of Using a Headhunter
Using a headhunter offers several advantages for companies looking to fill executive roles. Headhunters have access to a wider pool of candidates, including those who are not actively job hunting. This can lead to finding better matches for your key positions.
Main benefits include:
Access to top talent: Headhunters have extensive networks and databases.
Time-saving: They handle the initial screening and interviews.
Industry expertise: Specialized headhunters understand the specific needs of your industry.
Confidentiality: They can conduct searches privately, which is crucial for sensitive positions.
For example, headhunters in Spain might focus on industries like renewable energy and technology, ensuring they find the best candidates for these growing fields.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Headhunter
Selecting the right headhunter is crucial for finding the best talent for your company. Important factors include their industry focus, proven track record, and understanding of the local job market.
Industry Specialization
Industry specialization is essential when choosing a headhunter. A recruiter who focuses on your industry will have a deep understanding of the roles, skills, and qualifications needed. They can quickly identify the most suitable candidates, saving you time and effort.
For example, if your company is in tech, you should look for a headhunter with experience in IT or software development. This ensures they are familiar with the specific requirements and challenges in your field. Specialized headhunters typically have a strong network of industry professionals, making your talent search more efficient.
Track Record and Reputation
A headhunter’s track record and reputation are important indicators of their ability to deliver results. Look for headhunters who have successfully placed candidates in similar roles and industries. This demonstrates their expertise and reliability.
Reference checks can be very useful. Ask for testimonials or case studies from previous clients. Positive feedback and success stories can help you gauge the effectiveness of a headhunter. Additionally, consider their experience level. An established headhunter with a solid reputation is more likely to attract top-tier candidates.
Local Market Knowledge
Local market knowledge is critical when selecting a headhunter, especially in a unique market like Spain. A headhunter who understands local employment trends, salary expectations, and cultural nuances can provide valuable insights and advice.
They can help you navigate local regulations and labor laws, ensuring a smoother hiring process. Local knowledge also enables the headhunter to tap into regional talent pools and tailor their search to meet your specific needs. This localized approach often results in a better fit for both the candidate and your organization.

What is Headhunting? Understanding the Concept
Headhunting focuses on finding top talent, especially those not actively seeking jobs, while traditional recruitment often relies on advertising vacancies. This specialized approach involves a proactive and targeted process to secure the best candidates for key positions.
Headhunting vs Traditional Recruitment
Headhunting differs from traditional recruitment primarily in how candidates are sourced. Traditional recruitment generally involves posting job advertisements and waiting for applicants, targeting active candidates who are actively looking for new opportunities.
Headhunting, on the other hand, actively targets passive candidates who are not actively seeking new roles but may be open to the right opportunity. This means reaching out directly to professionals who are currently employed and may not be browsing job boards.
Another difference lies in the level of roles usually targeted. While traditional recruitment can be used for a wide range of positions, headhunting is often reserved for senior-level or highly specialized roles that require specific skills and experience.
The Headhunting Process
The headhunting process involves several steps, each designed to identify and attract the best candidates. Initially, headhunters work closely with the hiring organization to understand the specific requirements of the role and the desired candidate profile.
Next, headhunters conduct market research to identify potential candidates. This involves scanning professional networks, databases, and industry connections. Once suitable candidates are identified, headhunters use strategic and personalized outreach to engage these professionals, often leveraging their industry knowledge and network.
After making initial contact, headhunters assess the candidate’s fit for the role through detailed discussions and interviews. This thorough vetting process ensures that only the most qualified and interested candidates are presented to the hiring organization.
Roles of Headhunters in Recruitment
Headhunters play a critical role in the recruitment process, especially for high-level positions. Their expertise includes deep industry knowledge, extensive networks, and negotiation skills. They work closely with hiring managers to define the role, identify the best approach for outreach, and create a compelling pitch to attract top talent.
They also manage the entire recruitment cycle, from initial contact to final offer negotiation. This includes coordinating interviews, providing feedback, and facilitating communication between candidates and the hiring organization.
In addition, headhunters often act as advisors, helping to align the hiring strategy with the organization’s long-term goals. This strategic partnership can result in more successful hires and a better fit for both the candidate and the organization.
The Role of Technology in Headhunting
Technology has transformed headhunting by utilizing social media platforms and enhancing digital networking. It allows headhunters to connect with top talent more efficiently and personalize the recruitment process.
Leveraging Social Media
Social media platforms like LinkedIn are powerful tools for headhunting. They enable recruiters to identify and connect with potential candidates quickly. You can search for professionals based on their skills, experience, and industry.
LinkedIn provides detailed profiles, making it easier to assess a candidate’s fit for a role without initial interviews. Social media also allows headhunters to engage with candidates more informally. Engaging through posts, messages, and comments can build relationships and trust.
Job boards linked to social media also help. They provide a broader audience and quick access to a pool of active job seekers. This combination allows you to reach both passive and active candidates in a targeted manner. Making the most out of these platforms can make your headhunting process more efficient and successful.
Digital Networking and Headhunting
Digital networking has changed how headhunters find and interact with candidates. Online events, webinars, and industry forums are now prevalent, offering new avenues for connecting with professionals. You can attend these events and engage with potential candidates directly.
Specialized recruitment tools also aid in digital networking. These tools analyze data to match candidates with job openings accurately. Advanced analytics can identify trends and predict candidate success, making the process more data-driven.
Additionally, digital platforms can facilitate initial interviews and assessments through video calls and AI-based evaluations. This reduces the need for physical meetings and speeds up the hiring process. Incorporating digital networking into your strategy can help you stay ahead in the competitive field of headhunting.
Steps in the Headhunting Process
This process involves several important steps: identifying suitable candidates, engaging and screening them, conducting interviews and shortlisting, and finally, negotiating and making the job offer.
Identifying Suitable Candidates
To start, you need to create a thorough candidate profile. This profile details the skills, experience, and qualifications required for the role. Once you have a clear profile, you can begin your candidate search.
Focus on finding qualified candidates, including passive talent, who aren’t actively looking for new jobs but may be open to opportunities. Utilizing professional networks and databases helps you cast a wide net. You’ll want to look at candidates’ past work, accomplishments, and their fit with your organization’s culture.
Candidate Engagement and Screening
After identifying potential candidates, the next step is to engage and screen them. This begins with an initial outreach, which should be personalized and direct. Provide a compelling reason for why they should consider the position.
Next, collect resumes and conduct preliminary screenings based on the candidate profile. During this stage, verify their qualifications and look for red flags that might disqualify them from the process. Consider conducting brief phone interviews to further assess their suitability before moving forward.
Interviewing and Shortlisting
Once you’ve screened candidates, you can move on to the interview process. Structured interviews help maintain consistency. Develop a set of questions that target key skills and experiences. Multiple rounds of interviews may be necessary, including technical assessments and culture fit evaluations.
After the interviews, create a shortlist of the top candidates. Discuss their performance with relevant team members and gather feedback to decide who progresses through the hiring process. Ensure that you’re comparing candidates fairly and objectively.
Negotiations and Job Offer
When you have your top candidate, begin the negotiation phase. This involves discussing salary, benefits, start date, and any other terms of employment. Be prepared for a dialogue where both sides may need to compromise.
Once terms are agreed upon, make a formal job offer. Ensure the offer letter is clear and includes all relevant details. Follow up promptly and maintain open communication to address any questions or concerns the candidate may have before they accept the position.
The Impact of Headhunting on Businesses
Headhunting can open up opportunities for businesses to attract top talent, improve productivity, and build strong partnerships for long-term growth. The process, however, comes with certain cost considerations.
Strategic Advantages for Companies
Headhunting allows you to target and attract high-level employees who may not be actively seeking new jobs. This means you can bring in executive-level talent with specialized skills and experience, rather than relying solely on candidates who are actively job searching.
A key advantage is the ability to fill critical leadership roles quickly and efficiently. Instead of spending months on the traditional hiring process, you can identify and recruit top-tier talent, ensuring your company remains competitive. This is particularly important for roles requiring unique expertise or experience that are vital for your business operations.
Cost Considerations in Headhunting
While headhunting offers strategic benefits, it is important to consider the cost implications. Engaging a headhunter can be more expensive than traditional recruitment methods. You might incur costs such as headhunter fees, which can range from 20% to 30% of the candidate’s annual salary.
However, these costs can be offset by the long-term value brought by the recruited talent. A strategic hire can significantly impact your company’s productivity, innovation, and success. Evaluating the return on investment (ROI) is crucial, especially when hiring for c-suite positions and other roles that demand high expertise.
Partnership and Long-Term Growth
Forming a partnership with a professional headhunting firm can lead to sustainable long-term growth. These partnerships often result in a better cultural fit between the candidate and your organization, promoting higher retention rates. This is because headhunters develop a deep understanding of your company’s culture, values, and long-term goals.
Additionally, strong headhunting partnerships can enhance your company’s ability to attract and retain top talent over time. By building a relationship with a trusted headhunter, you create a pipeline of potential candidates, ensuring that future vacancies can be filled swiftly and effectively.
Building such relationships with headhunters can yield mutually beneficial outcomes for both your company and the headhunting firm. This constant collaboration can help you adapt to evolving market needs and consistently reinforce your team’s strength and capability.

The Role of European Headhunters
European headhunters play a critical role in helping companies find the best executive talent. They focus on identifying candidates with the right skills and experience for high-level positions.
Executive Search
European headhunters specialize in executive search. This involves finding candidates for positions such as CEOs, board members, and other senior management roles. These headhunters use their extensive networks and industry knowledge to find the right fit for each role.
One of their key tasks is to conduct in-depth interviews and background checks to ensure candidates meet the required criteria. They also negotiate employment terms to secure top talent. By doing this, they save companies time and resources that would otherwise be spent on recruitment.
Industry Specializations
European headhunters often focus on specific industries. Some firms specialize in fields like technology, finance, or healthcare. This industry-specific knowledge helps them understand the unique needs and challenges of each sector.
For example, Anderson Willinger focuses on the Central and Eastern European markets, offering services like management audits and development programs. This specialization allows them to provide tailored solutions for leadership roles in their target industries.
Other headhunters might focus on emerging technologies or sustainable leadership, using their expertise to find candidates who can drive innovation and long-term growth in these areas.
Benefits of Using Headhunters
Using headhunters can offer several advantages for companies seeking top talent. One key benefit is their ability to attract passive candidates. These potential hires may not be actively looking for new roles but possess the qualifications that match the company’s needs.
Headhunters have extensive networks. They can tap into a broader talent pool that may not be accessible through traditional job postings. This expands the possibilities of finding the best fit for the position.
They also offer expertise in screening and evaluating candidates. Headhunters conduct thorough assessments, ensuring that only the most qualified individuals are presented to the employer. This saves companies time and resources in the hiring process.
Confidentiality is another important aspect. For sensitive or high-level positions, headhunters can handle the recruitment discretely, protecting both the company’s and the candidate’s privacy.
Moreover, headhunters provide valuable market insights. They are knowledgeable about industry trends, salary benchmarks, and the competitive landscape, which can help companies make informed hiring decisions.
By utilizing the services of headhunters, companies can benefit from a streamlined recruitment process, attracting superior candidates, and gaining a competitive edge.
