Clarius Group has jumped more than 15 per cent in the past three days as investors have brushed aside the recruiter’s disappointing half-year guidance and are looking through to the expected earnings recovery in 2010-11.

Clarius said on Tuesday that net profit for the six months to December 31 would come in between $1.1 million and $1.4 million before one-off costs, which is down from the $1.9 million it posted at the same time last year.
