Route base/id to controller/action/id in mvc 4

I want to redirect users when they enter a URL into the browser based on the ID. For example, a user enters:

http://localhost:50431/10213

and they will be redirected to:

http://localhost:50431/home/job/10213

Default Route:

routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{jobno}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Job", jobno = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

How can I achieve this?

I think this is the best solution:

routes.MapRoute(
  name: "Job Number",
  url: "{jobno}",
  defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Job", .jobno = UrlParameter.Optional },
  constraints: new { jobno = @"[0-9]*" }      
);

I have tested this and it works properly, his reply in the comment did not work properly for me.

You could try something like this: 

routes.MapRoute(
  name: "Job Number",
  url: "{jobno}",
  defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Job" },
  new { jobno = @"[0-9]*" }      
);

And put it above the other route. The added parameter is to avoid the route catching urls like http://localhost:50431/foobar, but only the ones that contain numbers.

Please note I don't have a way of testing this at the moment so you may have to tweak it slightly.
