restrict recommended candidate to external link

good morning experts

Could you help me with this requirement?

is there a process or work-around for linking an employee and a candidate if the referred candidate does not use the link in the referral e-mail? the issue is the we have employees referring candidates, but the candidate applies directly to the posting instead of applying through the link they receive after being referred
