What does it mean when something is on a spec basis?

this is in regards to a job interview that I have been told is on a spec basis

Answer:
Usually this means that the person has applied speculatively - in other words there is no advertised vacancy, but if the employer is satisfied with the interview then they would consider creating a new post in order to offer the person a job.

For example "I applied to xyzco on spec, and they're giving me an interview".
speculative
Not 100% sure how this would pertain to a job interview, but generally when an engineer does something on spec it means that he has no client at the moment. Instead of designing something to a clients specifications he is "roughing out" the plans for something and then he will attempt to find a client who is interested in his idea. At that point only if he finds a client will he finalize the plans and then construct it.
Hiya nick im sure it just means special basisxx
back to the actual problem do you really want a job from a person you cant understand?

not being funny but .worth considering.

if it is an engineering job he is probably refering to a specification?

if he is saying that your job is speculative then he is perhaps refering to the work you may be doing. The work is speculative ie no one is asking for this service but by putting it out there people may want it?

hope this make some sence good luck
